As the dust settles after Election Day, how was Maryland's turnout?

Khalil Zaied is the newly sworn-in Director of the Baltimore City Department of Public Works.

He takes over an agency that has been rocked by scandal, and roundly criticized by workers and people outside of DPW for ineffective and hostile organizational culture. A lack of training and accountability and insufficient emergency protocols even contributed to the death of a DPW worker, Ronald Silver II, last summer.

Zaied joins Midday to discuss how he intends to address the questions surrounding DPW.

The make-up of the Maryland congressional delegation will be significantly different when the new Congress is sworn in in January.

Angela Alsobrooks and Sarah Elfreth will be the first two women to join the delegation since Barbara Mikulski and Donna Owens left Congress in 2016. Senator-elect Alsobrooks becomes only the third African American woman to be elected to the US Senate.

The election saw voters decisively pass a plan for Harbor Place, while turning down an amendment to shrink the size of the City Council.

Statewide, voters statewide overwhelmingly voted to enshrine in the Maryland Constitution the right to access to reproductive health care.

Today on Midday, how are you feeling? What do you think? We discuss the latest with analysis from WYPR's Ashley Sterner, the co-host of On the Record, and WYPR News Director Matt Bush.
